Ye Smudge Pot . , By Arthur Parry Five more days' and tho kids will be uklng Hoap on autos. that their necka need more. A coterie of Uotl. graduates complain that the alma mater Kong, "Mighty Oregon." lacka mus ical quality, and Is inappropriate. Home of the scores Indicate the latter. "Tho Model Cafe opened Its doora last Tuesday, and nt one time there were seventeen people on the floor" (Smith River Notes.) Why the cook has his thumbs In his suspenders. ' Funds are to be sought for con ducting a survey of "the unrest In Oregon." And, after they get the quota, they will rest. A Tale graduate has announced that he will not touch a 1750,000 legacy, because a lady has a fond ness for another. There are many maids, but It is no trivial task to get $760,000 In a bunch. The Pantages case Is ended, and nothing more exciting than the doings of Almee Hemple McPher son, can be offered by Los Angeles nt present. . An upstate autoist sneeced, and motored Into a phone pole. The hUme Is put on the sneeze, Instead of the phone pole. The havoc wrought by the clar- arette Is depleted In "a 660 page brief' issued by the Anti-Cigarette society. 660 paged is necessarily brief, and will be read eagerly by thetqne. tobacco chewer and the two pipe- smokers loose In the land. Farmers with a surplus of pumpkins, have given up hope of anybody stealing them. Comparative calm prevails over city, as far as footbull Is concerned, hut elsewhere In the land, and the state,: the hysteria this thriving metropolis knows so well, Is flour ishing.. Beginning Novomber l, every higheschool In the state will luy claim to the stato champion ship. . And great will bo the anger thereof. The footbull situation, generally speaking, is not badly ruffled, but the rifles, and the German cannon In the city parks are nil oiled and greased, Last night a 8alcm player hit the Albany coach so hard, he took 20 minutes to revive. The youth ful hero paid a $26 fine and re turned home. La Grande accuses Baker of act ing like a collcgo and Importing players. Two of the Baker players were alleged to bo orphans, with parents living. The La Grande Observer remarks, editorially, that this Is a strange stato of affairs, and Us contention will bo upheld by the level-headed of tho stato. The Baker Herald Democrat prints a longer editorial on the subject. The civic wrath bImIoh, and 36-yard editorials fill tho air. It Is noted that one of the Baker players, from Corvallls, will be allowed to play If his credits for muslo are OK. The article did not stale whether the music course was vocal or Instrumental, but It Is hoped It was Instrumental the lesser of the two evils. The Dalles has not won any games this season, either on the field of battle or the sporting puge of the Oregonlan. In college circles, all the players so badly bunged up they can not longer function, would have been selections for All-Coast, U not All American1 honors. The Ash land -Med ford situation Is the tamest In history. Generally by this -time, the frontier Is closed, and the egg shortage mude more ho by bombardments. A little spunk should he shown, and will be as soon as one or the other of the combatants shows some life unrt paints a professor pink. The - University of Washington team cried Wednesday, so the University of Oregon team Is in for a tough session this ufternoon. A bawling football team Is worse than a wildcat with a sore throat. Accounts of football games are written so as to spare the feelings of the losers, In accordance with custom. Hays a northern California pa pert "Our team was defeated but not conquered, and played better than the score, 86 to 6 against them, Indicated. The singing of their supporters was the best ever heard and should be continued."' BRITAIN MAY HAVE TO THE unti-.fi'wish riots and arc not a passing phase colonists there but constitute a project of a world home for. the authority throughout the East This is the opinion- of Frank litical expert, expressed in the Reviews. Mr. Simonds believes that llritain either will have to abandon the Jewish colonization project or prepare for an in terminable and costly era of violence spreading throughout Mesopotamia and into Egypt and India. Despite the fact that a difference over the AVailing Wall at Jerusalem precipitated the first Arab outbreak, the cause is not religious but racial,. the observer declares. Tho Arabs, now in the vast majority, believe they will be driven out by the rapidly spreading Jewish colonists and have determined to fight to the last ditch. "The present disturbance had its origin in the fact that under the stress of war Britain irreconcilable pledges," says Mr. .Simonds. "To the Arabs it promised that if they would revolt against the Turks, Great Britain would insure the creation of an independent Arab king dom including Mesopotamia, Syria and the Holy Iand, that is. the regions in which the ;ArlH population. ; ,; Concomitantly, the Uritish signed with the French the treaty which gave Uritish approval to the traditional French claim upon Syria. And finally in the Balfour declaration, Britain agreed to assist in creating a national home for tho Jews in Palestine. "In Palestine the steady and the rising importance of the sulted in Arab protest and, resentment. But despite ther growth, the Arabs still constitute five-sixths of the population and they have not the slightest selves to be reduced to tho status Besides the probability that Arabs would result in sympathetic outbreaks throughout the East, Britain must face the alternative of world-wide Jewish protests if it curtails or abandons the Palestine plan, says the Review of Reviews writer. "The every indication of a continuing campaign of violence. The ob ject is to impose enormous expense upon Britain and terrorize the Jewish world to the extent that, it may bo necessary to abandon the plan completely." If married life is becoming leas intimate, there re compen sations.

"Yours respectfully, ( ") The fake "doctor" the unhappy woman refers to has been heralded widely through publications of easy virtue and some of these publica tions sharing in the easy money continue to promote the faker and his trick health advice even after the disreputable scheme has been exposed by honest publication. Such is the credulity of the grand old public. This poor woman, like thousands of other gullible read ers, assumed that the fellow was really a physician becuuse tho pub lisher promoting the humbug Is careful to call the fellow "doc tor." The big blue light probably acted as a kind of Intellectual anesthetic, enabling the fake "doctor" and his aids to separato the victim from her loose money with less diffi culty.

This age may just seem sinful because it doesn't take the pre caution of sneaking out behind the barn. Of course the meek shall inherit the curth. The others haven't any children to Inherit anything.

You don't realize how mad a man can get until you discover a reformer's pet faults and piously urge him to mend his ways. "The stowaways will quit it when they learn that nobody ever won fame that way." What about Jonah? You see, each nation must have some battleships to protect Its trade routes from other battleships.

' When the hotel threw open its doors to the public a year ugo, more than eight thousand people passed through the building to view the new $5,000.1)00 monolith, dedicated to4 the comfort'nnd convience of those who come within Us portals as guests. Named for the daring swash buckler who so narrowly missed the discovery of San Francisco bay In 1579, but who landed a few mites north at what is now known as Drakes bay, this stately and beautiful twenty-two story edifice Is worthy to rank with the finest of Kan Francisco s new arcnitec- ture. Within the hotel, service nnd beauty reign on twin thrones. Tub Itc and private rooms alike have been treated to the tasle of tho discriminating traveler and per manent resident. There's a warm friendly hospitality that permeates the house with the luxurious at mosphere of ia private club.
